**Album Release and Exclusive Box Set Edition** 

FOCUS festival will culminate in a remarkable event as Alexander Shelley and the NAC Orchestra conclude their acclaimed Clara, Robert, Johannes recording project, which encompasses major works by Clara Schumann, as well as the complete symphonies by Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann, exploring the personal and artistic connections between these three giant composers. 

The fourth and final album Clara, Robert, Johannes: Romance and Counterpoint unites performances by Angela Hewitt and other guest artists of Clara’s Romances for violin and piano Op. 22 and rarely heard solo piano pieces alongside the fourth symphonies of Robert Schumann and Brahms. 

Grab your copy at the festival and be among the very first to listen before its official worldwide release.

That's not all! A very limited-edition box set, collecting all four albums in this series, will be available ONLY at the NAC, and only during the FOCUS festival.
